US EditionU.S. House passes GOP health care bill, sends to Senate
The GOP bill passed 216-211 excludes the enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, which helped 24 million enrollees but may cause 100,000 to lose coverage annually, says CBO.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act by a 216–211 vote as a House Republican alternative to extending expiring ACA subsidies.
- The GOP package omits extending enhanced premium tax credits set to expire December 31, 2025, and because Congress's session ends Friday, lawmakers will leave without a compromise.
- The legislation would fund cost‑sharing reduction payments starting in 2027, and the Congressional Budget Office estimates it would reduce premiums by 11% on average through 2035.
- Kaiser Family Foundation analysis shows subsidized enrollees would see average premiums rise from $888 to $1,904 next year if the enhanced credits lapse, and the Congressional Budget Office projects 3.8 million could lose insurance annually, including 583,000 in Ohio.
- House Democrats gathered 218 signatures on a discharge petition Wednesday, with four Republicans breaking ranks, but rules bar action until January, challenging Speaker Mike Johnson's control.
